I think there is no explicit leadership on this project. We are a rather small community and we are communicating through the debian-sparc mailing list ([email protected]). Personnally, I don't want to assume this responsability (I cannot spend more time on debian-sparc than I already do), but if anyone else wants to take it to coordinate our effort... > We have been working on UltraSPARC systems and Linux for many years and > realized UltraSPARC+Linux is the best combination for high-performance > computing users.

For now, the port we work on is for sparc not for ultrasparc. I think an ultrasparc distribution have to be considered a new port, since it is 64 bits based as far as I know (am I wrong ?). I don't have any knowledge on this part, I don't even know if the current kernel, compiler, libc and other tools are stable enough to start to build a new dist, but maybe others on the debian-sparc list would want to work with you, so I cross-post this mail to the list. > There is very little exposure on www.debian.org and one page even stated > that only Intel distribution is available.
